My sincere condolences to the entire family.
Dick was a wonderful man, whom I thought of often through the years.
I have wonderful memories of growing up across the street from the family, which Bruce and I reminisce about still. I would run into him occasionally, usually at the Summer Arts Festival, and he was always warm and friendly.
Heaven has gained an angel.
